I don't know I think I will way for Clair Obscur: Expedition 34 thats got to be the best one.
A real fan would know Expidition 32 is next.
honest question: who is Clair Obscur?
Clair Obscur is the name of the entire franchise or universe.
Not a person, but an art style. The French words mean "light dark", but the style is called Chiaroscuro in English.
It's an art term where intense dark/light contrast is used.
why is Clair Obscur?
GOTY
Nah.
Cool aesthetic but I'm going to be honest the gameplay is meh. The designers seem to have taken it as a challenge to make it very difficult to interpret enemy attack timing. Its ok early but the problem is you just never really get better, every single enemy has to be learnt separately.
Would have been a lot more fun if telegraphing was more predictable and you could actually progress and get better at the game. Either that or get rid of the QTE system completely so they can go more in depth on the RPG system, because as it is they at odds with each other. The RPG system is almost meaningless if you can parry.
I tend to agree. It's either ridiculously hard if you can't get the parry right, so you go online and a million fanbois tell you that you suck and "git gud", then you do that and then the game becomes ridiculously easy.
Overall though, I kinda learned to love it. You grind a boss a few times and lose horribly every time, then that one time you get lucky and land all your parries and beat the boss easily, you feel like you're awesome.
Unless you go for the build that can one shot every boss
That's the whole point of the challenge - not so predictable that you can parry each time, so it makes a successful Exp 33 party counter so satisfying
I wasnt great at parrying but found the success rate just right that the game was challenging without being souls likeIt's more so that it's purely a game of memorisation. Similar looking attacks can have completely different parry timings. Some attacks it's when the attack touches your model. Others they have to be halfway through you.
Its just not possible to judge the correct timing from experience for a new attack - you have to actually get hit by it to work it out.

Better wait until it is announced as GOTY and couple of weeks later, it may be added as free game for PSPlus subscribers
not possible, unless you want to wait until 2027+
It's included in Xbox Gamepass since launch so it's possible they could add it to the PS+ subscription too?
SONY very stingy.
If it's on Gamepass from launch, then Microsoft either owns the developer/publisher, or made an exclusive deal with them. They are now shifting away from an exclusivity approach with gaming though, so I guess ironically if the do own them then it might actually increase the likelihood of it coming to PlayStation Plus in some form sooner. If it's just an exclusivity deal that they signed ages ago before the strategy shift, they'll definitely run that out before anything could be signed with Sony.
sekiro and clair obscur on sale… good week for ozbargain parry maniacs
Really Good Game
THE GOAT
GOTY.
I sold mine $60, facebook market
This game is 100% worth it even at full price. A complete breath of fresh air in the gaming space and likely GOTY.
Already played, but this is an amazing deal for those who come after!
Yeah I'm loving it (still in the middle of Act 2). Honestly, amazing voice actor and dialogue. The story definitely has got a little bit of Whooo and a little bit of Wheee
One of the most imaginative and emotionally evocative stories I've ever experienced in any format
Finished main story and doing post/end game content now.
Great game! Any rpg or jrpg fan should play it.
Square Enix could never. I love MY FF games, but they've just been kinda… Meh for a while now.
You can definitely see inspiration from older rpgs and definitely some influence of Nier here, but it's wrapped up very nicely in a new way of turn based rpgs that keeps you way more engaged/keeps builds more interesting.
Amazing soundtrack and story as well.
Parry it!
For those who come after
Currently available on Xbox gamepass, for those with a PC or XBOX
If you have both, you can buy it digitally and get both copies as a Xbox Play Anywhere title.
Also available for $79 at Big W + free metro shipping https://www.bigw.com.au/product/clair-obscur-expedition-33-p…
Yep I bought it from Big W the other day, free & quick shipping, ~40 cents worth of everyday rewards points too.
I couldn't get this to work unfortunately:
"Join the BIG W Inner Circle and get $10 off your first online order.*"
I think the * says minimum spend of $100
When I click the T&C's it says "Subscribe to BIG W’s Inner Circle and as a welcome, receive $10 off* your next online order of $75 (excluding delivery fees, online lay-by fees) or more made at bigw.com.au including BIG W Market. Be sure to enter the promotion code emailed to you, in the ‘Add Promo Code’ section of the checkout."
Problem is I never got the promo code via email. In fact I didn't get an email from Big W at all, and I tried signing up a few emails. Hopefully they fix/fixed it.
One of the best games I've ever played hands down. Way too cheap even at $79, unbelievable some companies are charging upwards of $100 when the quality of this game surpasses that.
They mocked us when we said the human body is the strongest of them all. We trained relentlessly and now our bodies have achieved the pinnacle of human performance, with which we are able to crush our enemies!
We are SO much more agile and aerodynamic without the heavy uniforms constraining our glorious muscles.Absolutely amazing game!
Reminder: This is on Game Pass as well
Better on PS5 or PC?
PC is always the answer
You'd want a controller either way imo.
So depends if you wanna couch it up or sit at your PC! (layout depending)
I run performance mode perfectly fine on ps5 pro. No real dips or glitches or issues. Samsung 65 inch s90c oled TV a few meters back. I will say some text is surprisingly small. Otherwise take your pick
Thanks. Means ps5 for me. Once it's a controller I don't love it on PC.
Been $79 at BigW for ages, not a deal.
Also on special at Big W for the same price + $10 off with the newsletter coupon. Cheers for the heads up OP
I like the design, art style but mechanics, movement, effects, moves execution etc. Is very Final Fartasy, Asian RPGs. No idea at all why they didn't do their own thing, more fitting with the whole universe then just copy/paste, bit of a let down in that sense and lazy.
Like action RPG open world?
Whats wrong with it being final fantasy like? They found a way to crank up turn based game and its awesome in a genre that hasn't really pushed itself
Your point has nothing at all to do with my point. All you saw is Final Fartasy writen, that's it.
Then which part was very copy and paste-y?
Brilliant game, Story, Music, game play all great… Everyone (into games or not) should at the very least watch the Skill up video on YT around how this game was made, just amazing and it's unlikely to ever happen again, to achieve what they did and show up AAA studios who spend 50-100x more for a game that's meh is in itself worth supporting this studio and this game …
yes was about to fix it but you beat me to it , cheers
